Baba Oyo: Baba oyo, you know something about this particular post I quoted? My head usually swell whenever anyone mention or write or type my name fully, I sooooooo love it, this is how my hubby use to call me whenever I'm not being myself and he want to take me back to my real self, I just love it when I hear my name in full, my mum gave my hubby that key..........".call her full name when she's angry and she will definitely smile back at you". I'm so happy tonight since ileya day. RR, you see what you have caused, I can't but thank you for this. God bless all of us. 1 Like |

Ok now I want to know what Ileobatojo mean. Otherwise... I will interpret it myself o and my Yoruba is atrocious. whatever you people's eyes see, take it like that o. Ile - house Oba- king To Jo - dance House of king that dances. |
Re: I Met A Man!!!! by Nobody: 2:47am On Oct 19, 2013 |
stillwater: Ok now I want to know what Ileobatojo mean. 'Jo' in this case is 'burn' Ileobatojo (the king's palace that burns), ewalobusi (it leads to more beauty) *If the king's palace burns, it only leads to the building of a better, more beautiful palace.* Meaning when something sad/bad happens, it gives an opportunity for a better thing to happen, or something along those lines. Pardon my poor translation! As to which King's story the saying originated from, don't ask me o. Waiting for baba Oyo to give me the gist. |
Re: I Met A Man!!!! by BabaOyo(m): 3:56am On Oct 19, 2013 |
^^^^^ You tried with your explanation. Ile Oba to Jo, ewa lo bu kun!! Literally, it means when the king's house got burnt, it added more beauty to the the king's house. Realistically, the meaning is simply.....every dissapointment is a blessing in disguise!!! Back in the centuries of our fore fathers, there was a king in yorubaland who was very good and nice to his people. He had the best of their interest at heart. He was well loved. Someday, there was a war which ravaged his kingdom and everything got burnt including the palace. He fled with his people into the wilderness for protection. He was devastated and he fell sick. In a while, word went round that the Oba who had served his people dilligently was not feeling too well. And back then a king must not die outside his palace. The people mustered all they had and decided to build the good king a new palace far away from home. In record time, they built a new palace bigger and better than the one which got burnt. He got extra rooms, extra large compound and new furnitures donated from all the adjoining villages. The Oba got so impressed and he got well. The first statement he made after standing from his sick bed was Ile Oba to jo, ewa lo bu si That was the origin of that statement. Does anyone know the name of the king in history? Waiting!!!! |

Tinkybabe: @Royal Roy,you be geek? Why the professor like spectacles now Tinkybabe, am impressed with your computer/phone. For giving a detailed and well written Yoruba with all the signs on it. I must upgrade. Hmmmm.....Tekinology!!!!! Amazing |

Re: I Met A Man!!!! by ayde: 10:28am On Oct 19, 2013 |
It's really a small world Royal Roy thanks for extending your hand of kindness to Baba Oyo...and to think that you didn't know "Alhaji" was a Nairalander who already had an idea who you were! This just shows that our character, both in the real and virtual world, could go a long way. You never know who the person standing next to you is. It baffles me how some on here who tag themselves e-warriors could rain insults on another poster just because they share difference in opinions . It may be a faceless forum, but not really faceless afterall. With RR, you can tell he is a nice guy from his posts. Baba Oyo too, to mama oyo and awon omo oyo :p and that's why they were able to sync in the first place. Spread the love around! Food for thought - What do your comments/or posts tell us about you. Think about it. |

Stories like this restores my faith in humanity. Baba Oyo, do not forget to pay it forward. It's a chain Royal Roy started and it might just come back to you someday. Its amazing that this man trying to raise money for that young girl and hermother on the other thread showed love to another total stranger. RR, God bless you. |
